I made socks

Ben bought me some sock yarn which he got in Germany on a work trip over a year ago. I only just got around to turning them into socks, but sadly, I ran out of yarn. I made them from the top down so I couldn’t make them shorter without unravelling the whole lot. In the end I bought the closest matching yarn I could find and now I have these unique and un-matched socks. No one can see the foot part so it doesn’t really matter. They’re wonderfully comfortable and warm. They are worked in the round all the way to the toes which means there are no seams.

Super socks! They look really warm. I love the way they peep over the top of your boots!

Does this kind of yarn come with lycra? They look really snug and smart.

  I no longer have the sleeve this yarn came with so I’m not sure of its makeup but sock yarn is usually a mix of wool and nylon.

Those are pretty darn funky socks! I like the way they extend out of your boots and brighten up Winter!

  Thanks! I made them deliberately long to keep my legs warm as well.
